Just heard that Eddie Sutton was arrested but not charged for DUI in Stillwater, Ok last weekend. This sounds really bad for someone who has had problems with alcohol dependency in past coaching positions. However, the story is a little more complicated because Oklahoma law says that a DUI can include people driving under the influence of perscription painkillers. From what I have heard from people in Stillwater, it sounds like Coach Sutton was driving under the influence of pain killers when he crashed his car and cut his head. He has been given a medical leave for the rest of the season and his son Sean will take over as head coach. Sad to see someone who has been so successful as a head coach have this kind of trouble with addictions.
